Ingredients: 4 large egg whites. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 teaspoon white vinegar. A pinch of salt.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 225F 110C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. While beating the mixture, add the sugar, cream of tartar, and salt one at a time until stiff, glossy peaks form. The vanilla extract, cornstarch, and white vinegar should be added slowly and carefully. Be careful not to deflate the meringue as you carefully fold in the chopped strawberries.

Bake them for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they feel crisp and dry. Before leaving the oven, open the door a little and let the meringues cool inside. Once the meringues are completely cool, take them out of the oven and put them in a container that won't let air in. Serve these tasty Simple Strawberry Meringues and enjoy them!
